I've been getting my nails done for 20 years... from AZ to CA to NY to VA. This is by far the worst nail job I've ever had. It took 1.5 hours for a full set and that's because after an 1hr and 10 mins I had to ask for someone else to do my nails. The manager, I assume she was, came to finish the job which still took another 20+ minutes. They were crooked, soooo thick, heavy, misshaped, everything bad you can imagine I literally started to cry thinking about the time and money I'd wasted by then. The first lady who ruined my nails started laughing hysterically when I started crying. She kept laughing and I kept crying. Finally I asked if someone else could finish them. She started at 2:50pm and it was 4:10pm and they still needed drilling, sanding, etc. The manager came and finished. She said they looked they way they did because they were so long?! Look at the pics...that doesn't look long to me. Even after the manager finished they still look awful. I will NEVER go back to this salon and I can't wait for 2 weeks to pass so I can get them filled somewhere else. The pics don't look as bad as they do in person. And again this is AFTER the manager finished them. Wish I had before pics.

I've tried several different places in the area and found Mimi @ Nail Society Spa. Mimi does awesome job. Now I keep going back to her only.

You would find it closed at random times, even though it is advertised as business hours. Always call and check first. Also, they seem to be struggling with having enough technicians on weekends. Only two were present in the entire place on more than one occasion.

I had the worst nail experience of my life at this salon. 2 hours for a standard manicure and pedicure and I had to go home and remove the polish. Very disappointed.

Roughed the nail bed during a manicure, meaning it will take months to grow out the damage, despite the fact I requested that step be skipped. Very rough and painful use of an orange stick to push back the cuticles, likely meaning more nail damage and a deep cut to the skin at the edge of thumbnail from use of cuticle clippers (hello -- cuticle clipper are for cuticles). Additionally, the nail tech kept using his own nail to clean up his mistakes, even running it underneath my own nails. Couldn't wait to leave and pour alcohol over my hands. This is why Virginia needs laws that allow only licensed technicians from accredited cosmetology schools to work in these salons. Licensing in this state is a joke.

RUN away from this horrid excuse of a nail salon. I have been getting my nails done for over 12 years and have NEVER had a tech so incompetent and rude. I showed the picture i wanted versus the absolute nightmare of a job I got. I paid $120 for this absolute nightmare of a manicure. Pedicure was nice, the nail tech for the manicure was an absolute mess. This place needs to be shut down. -100/10 if I could rate that low.

I was recommended by my coworker. Unfortunately I couldn't see the recommendation tech because she was on vacation so a guy tech came to help and WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE. HE IS NOT GOOD AND DONT THINK HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING!!!!!!! I have noticed theres good number if one start review in that guy tech and its all true. I have experienced it and really don't RECOMMEND HIM!!!! Sucks!!!!

Excellent in: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Quality, Value I've been going to InStyle Nail Spa in Leesburg, VA for about 5 years. The shop is always very clean. During the 2020 quarantine, they ensured employee and client safety and comfort by installing face and separation shields at the mani and pedi stations. All of the employees wear face masks. Check out their Instagram account, their nail designs are gorgeous! I also take my daughter there for special Mommy and me days!

DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED! Only decided to go there because of their "nice" nail design pictures on Instagram! I decided to do an ombre nail and when i called for an appointment, I specifically asked for someone that is very good with shaping and ombré and they said don't worry just show a picture! Well, i went there, the front desk gentleman was nice but he said I can't do a ombre refill, which was ok i decided to do a gel polish instead. The nail tech came which was another guy, extremely rude! Did not say Hi, and whatever i tell him to do about shape/color/length he goes " No" you need a full set! Like i am just asking you to shorten my nail and shape it! and shakes his head! I have never seen such a thing in a business! I chose a color and asked him to bring it, he says "no we don't have that color" Are you serious? I was so close to just leave! He brought the color at the end. Just to mention, the lady nail tech that was sitting next to him was extremely rude and unprofessional as well, she passed me and drop the whole nail colors that was on my desk on the floor without saying anything! I was literally in shock! Terrible experience

Great service and very attentive. They took me in on a Sunday at closing time and did a fantastic job. Will definitely be back.

First off I'd like to say that Jackie is the only employee I would recommend going to. She is great and this review should not reflect her work. That being said, I was there a few days ago getting a pedicure. I asked for a pedicure and the technician did a deluxe pedicure without asking me and charged me for it. It was a decent pedicure, but I felt ripped off and taken advantage of. Then, one of my toe nails got infected. This kind of thing should not happen if they are using proper cleaning techniques. I am very disappointed in the lack of cleanliness that led to this situation.

i've never written a negative review before but i'm super upset abt the quality of nails given the amount of money that i spent. i called ahead of time to see if they could take me as a walk-in and all seemed well at first. i showed them my inspiration photo and it seemed like they were confident that they could do it. as the time went on, i realized that wasn't the case. to preface, i have worked in a nail salon before and i'm currently training to be a nail tech so i know right from wrong when it comes to nails. the older man who did my nails rushed through the prep on my natural nail and barely cleaned my cuticles up. the "design" that he did looks nothing like the picture; i even had to ask him to put more sparkles because it looked bad. the pointer and middle w the sparkles are bumpy as if the top coat he put on didn't do anything. the pointer finger on my right hand is SO incredibly crooked, which i know is not because of my natural nail bc i haven't ever had this problem before. the pointer on my other finger popped right off. i have had these nails for 9 days and this is the amount of outgrown they are, it's horrible. i will never be coming back here, and for $95 i deserve better.

I never go out of my way to write negative reviews, but my experience here was so infuriating that I had to. Before making an appt I reached out to the salon with a reference photo and asked them if they could replicate the nails. I was told that they could and so I went ahead with the appointment. When I sat in the chair the nail tech took one glance at the photo and never looked at it again which would've been fine had he given me what I was asking for but the nails I ended up with vaguely resembled the reference picture at best. In addition to them not being the design that I had asked for the nails were all wildly different lengths and shapes. I got this set done a little over a day ago and 3 nails are already lifting, one has completely popped off and the acrylic on the thumb nail is splitting from the tip that was put on. On top of this being the possibly the worst quality set of nails I have ever gotten, they are also the most expensive at $90. For that much money I would expect them to last most than a day and a half!

I was given a $100 gift card for Instyle Nails by one of my close friends, I gave it to my daughter to use and when she presented it she was told it was only a rewards card and not a gift card. My friend is having to dispute the charge with her bank in order to get her money back and we obviously had to present a different form of payment. Very disappointing and not good business practice.
